I was once fluent in Spanish, but have lost a lot over the years.  It got me wanting to pick up another language, so I have started learning German.

English (native)

German (limited working proficiency)

Spanish (elementary proficiency)

 

P.S., I'm doing this for work.

1.5

English - Native

Spanish / Finnish - About .25 for each which means I can make my way around the country and easily request a beer or the location of the nearest bathroom. Lost a lot over the years from not using either. 

I also am fluent in speaking New Jersey but not sure that counts.

My dad can have a conversation in over half a dozen languages that I know of (English, German, Portuguese, Spanish, Afrikaans, Thai, Dutch with some French and Indonesian) but he didn't pass any on to me.

 

I've lost most of by German speaking abilities and I'm currently working on getting Portuguese from an elementary to a conversational level. But for now, just one language.

I should know Spanish seeing as how my mom is Puerto Rican, but it's never kept with me.  I was decent at one point and time, but if you don't continue speaking it...  it's true, if you don't use it, you lose it.

I've thought about getting Rosetta Stone a few times over the past couple of years to learn again.  Has anyone ever had success with the Rosetta Stone system?

    • I think they are holding back to see what they have in the young guys, but I think it's a near certainty at some point they will bring someone else in. Right now (assuming we keep 5 CBs which is normal), the top 5 IMO are: 1) Jaycee Horn 2) Mike Jackson 3) Chau Smith-Wade 4) Shemar Bartholomew  5) Akayleb Evans   Obviously Jaycee is the alpha in that room and paid as such. Need him to stay healthy and continue to play at a Pro-Bowl level. Mike Jack did pretty well all things considered last year, and they gave him lower-level starter money. Fair deal for both sides.  Smith-Wade showed some promise as a slot CB. I think low-key he's a lock for the team. Different size and skill set than the other CBs. Shemar Bartholomew was the most sought after waiver claim last preseason. Was 5th CB most and inactive most of last year. Had a few defensive and ST snaps. Nothing of note good or bad but too small a sample size to make any judgment. Akayleb Evans was a 2022 4th Rounder for the Vikings. Has started 19 games (including Week 18 for the Panthers) in his career and played in 43. Was pretty good in 2023 before getting injured and falling down the depth chart last year. There's some other guys on the outside looking in, but until they show more in training camp I dont see anyway they make the 53. And only Jaycee, Mike Jack, and Smith-Wade are locks to make this roster IMO.  
    • Was just reading the Ask the Old Guy story on the team's website and was shocked to see that only two 2nd Rounders have signed so far, 30 of them haven't. That isn't normal, the Texans really screwed things up for the rest of the league, no other explanation that I can think of for 30 of the 32 picks to still be unsigned at this point.
    • They need to address CB before season starts. This is not going to cut it.
